PUNCTUALITY TO THE EXAMINATION CENTER

Sequel to the fact that some students came late for their CA tests today and the Student Union had to plead on their behalf, we wish to inform all the BetterByFar students of the importance of punctuality to the examination center.

We want students to correct the notion that examination cannot start at the exact time scheduled for it, because the old scheduling process has been totally rebranded. The timetable is now planned in such a way that everybody having exams at a particular time can all be accommodated at once.

The usual queueing at the CBT entrance is now a thing of the past, and we want our members to evolve with this progressive developments too. We hereby beseech students to pay keen attention to the time arrangement of their courses in order not to fall victim of lateness to the CBT.

Also, in order to ease the stress our members face at the entrance to the CBT Center, the immediate past administration of the Student Union built a shade at the CBT Center to shield students from the weather conditions and also offer them comfort before sitting for examinations.

We shall commit ourselves to the maintenance of the facility and ensure that we faction in more rebranding touches on this part of the value system.

UPDATE ON THE SITUATION AT THE GATE

Some unidentified people came to our campus with a convoy and police envoys to make awareness for a program that has not been approved by the school authority. For a community that is security conscious and takes the safety of students as priority, this kind of unapproved movements is highly prohibited on our campus.

Not only did they failed to follow the due protocol, they were also driving recklessly, without caution. This raised a security concern and these unidentified people were blocked from exiting through the school gate, which subsequently affected the movement of other vehicles to and fro.

As a union that holds the welfare of students in high importance, we proceeded to the gate for two purposes:

i. To see to the movement of commercial vehicles to and fro campus to reduce the congestion at the park and not keep our members stranded on campus. And,

ii. To ensure that the security issue is properly addressed, simply because we cannot allow unidentified persons to roam our campus without checks. The safety of all students is paramount to us.

Thankfully, we were able to achieve our aims as the gate has been opened for passage of vehicles and the unidentified people has been handed over to the security unit.

The situation of the park is now under control and we apologize for the inconvenience this might have caused all our members. The welfare of our students remains our priority and we'll go any length to rebrand that part of the value system.

CBT CA POSTPONEMENT AND ADD 'N' DROP FORM

Based on our interalia promise to see to the reopening of the school portal in order to avail students who are yet to make necessary payments and register courses to do so, we're glad that the school management has yielded to our demands and reopened the portal to allow more students to register of this session.

Subsequently, we hereby inform our distinguished unilorites of the postponement of the CBT CA (for 300L-500L students) earlier scheduled to commence from the 9th of December that it has now been slated to commence on the 16th of December, 2019.

This is due to the fact that some members of the union are still using this opportunity of school portal reopening to do necessary registrations and because of the non-availability of the Add 'n' Drop Form. We hereby also use this medium to inform our ever passionate students that the portal for the ADD 'N' DROP form will be opened on Wednesday, 11th of December, 2019 till 15the of December, 2019.

We're pleased to make it known to all students and keke operators that the closing time of the gate has been extended from 8pm till 9pm prompt, giving privilege to transportation and economic exercise through the gate till the new closing time.

2. PRICE OF KEKE FROM UITH PARK TO OLD COLLEGE

Also, it has come to our notice that some keke operators are charging #50 from UITH park to Old college instead of the agreed #30, which is a straight deviation from the MOU between the Student Union and keke operators. We have communicated with the leadership of the keke, on which our agreement is to report the defaulters to the necessary quarters for sanctioning.

We want to reiterate that the fare of Keke from UITH park to the Old college is #30 and students should take a picture (ensure the keke number in front is clearly visible) of any keke that's charging above the aforementioned price and report to the Welfare Secretary of COHS via +2348147343016.

Also, any keke which refuses to carry students going to the Main Campus (PS) from COHS without any cogent reasons should also be reported immediately through the same channel!

Also, we are embittered to inform distinguished unilorites that our TV and DSTV Decoder at the SU Relaxation Center at Oke-Oyi was stolen on the 9th of November and subsequently being declared missing. We apologize for the late information as this was due to underground investigation in place.
